Shaking up sheep handling

ASHLEY Olsson along with
his four sons, who had a sim-
ple idea for a clip-in fence
post, have been building
the innovative Clipex brand
since its inception in 2007.
This year the company
is making new strides with
not one but two new prod-
ucts revolutionising the
sheep industry.
The new products being
introduced to the market are
the 2021 Clipex Lamb Box
and the Clipex Auto Drafter.
Both products were de-
signed with the core pillars
of safety and productivity
in mind.
"The 2021 Clipex Lamb
Box makes recording lamb
data incredibly easy and ef-
ficient, using the latest engi-
neering and electronic tech-
nology to reduce the stress

a Clipex spokesman said. SAFE AND EASY: Clipex believe its Lamb Box increases safety for lambs while also making traceability easier for farmers.
